诗篇 33:18

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 33:18

Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him - He watches over them, and “he” guards them from danger. His eye is, in fact, upon all men; but it is directed with special attention to those who fear him and trust in him. Their security is in the fact that the eye of God is upon them; that he knows their wants; that he sees their dangers; that he has ample ability to deliver and save them.Upon them that hope in his mercy - Upon the pious; upon his friends.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 33:1-22

Psalms 33:0 Rejoicing in GodIsrael’s musicians and singers are called to unite in joyous praise to God (1-3). He is worthy of people’s praise because of his faithfulness, seen in all his righteous works (4-5); because of his power, seen in creation and in his irresistible word (6-9); and because of his sovereign control, seen in the history of world events (10-12). God, being perfect in knowledge, sees the uselessness of all those achievements in which people put their trust (13-17).Above all,... read more

This section expounds the thought of the Lord’s righteousness and loyal love (Psalms 33:5). The psalmist rejoiced that he and his nation were the elect of God and the recipients of His covenant faithfulness (Psalms 33:12). Some people do not experience more divine blessing than others because God is more aware of some people than He is of others (Psalms 33:13-15). He is equally aware of everyone. He does not grant victory to some armies more than to others because one army is stronger than... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 33:1-22

This is an anonymous Ps. of national deliverance, called forth by some historical occasion which it is now impossible to fix with any certainty.
